    As someone eho quit Amazon this past may, I don’t blame them. I got written up for being 2 mins over my 15 min break, they have mandatory over time days, the 10-12 hours shifts are brutal, the numbers you’re expected to hit each hour is crazy and then you add that on top of peak season (the holidays) it’s crazy

      @Yummy Spaghetti Noodles He could take two minutes extra on his break for all breaks for an entire career there
      And it still wouldn't cover the cost of training another person to do the job lmao
      I understand personal responsibility and accountability
      But two minutes is an understandable rounding error on the balance sheets, if nothing else
      Five minutes, yes, that would be cause for write ups at the very least
      No one likes a letter of the law Nazi. People work less hard for them

      Man that's rough. My wife walked out of the Amz orientation when they said you can't take a bathroom break during the orientation. I can tell you the online seller support departments are basically paid to do nothing. They just close support tickets without reading things, copy and paste. If you can somehow get that gig its sweet. Downside is you might need to move to India though.

      Corporations were always like this. They're especially evil in America because they tricked the average American into thinking that they are benevolent "job creators."
      They convinced Americans that getting rid of unions would mean better wages for all workers instead of just the corporate heads. Ooops! You live, you learn, Americans.

      For a company like Walmart for example who generates $1 trillion in revenue. I don’t think it’s a lot to ask that they provide better pay and benefits to their employees. Forming corporate partnerships with colleges and universities for tuition rate reductions, developers or community leaders to reduce rates for housing, etc. If an American works full-time they should at least not be homeless or sleeping in their car

    Woooo!! About time ❤ we don’t see our families for 2 months straight due to over time days and extended hours. We are physically and emotionally drained so that the customers can be with their families during the holidays. This even leads into the new year as well. And only if we have enough time saved up can we take a day off of this rigorous schedule. We don’t even get bonuses during the holidays unless the entire facility hits rates. And if any department is lacking by the end of peak we do not even get a bonus for all that hard work. If we are lucky enough to get a bonus, we only get $200 for which they advertise it to be more but once taxes hit the most we get is $200. We NEED to all be unionized and/or change the peak scheduling.

    I work at Ontario, California U.P.S.
    1. $15.00 an hr starting pay
    2. Only guaranteed 3 1/2 hrs of work per day
    3. 12 months before you qualify for health insurance
    4. No climate control here! Warehouse is in excess of 100 degrees in summer, the trailers for loading/unloading are substantially hotter.
    5. The building/hub is filthy. Not cleaned by professionals but by hourly employees, who may or may not do their job. The ONLY time the building is clean is when there's an audit or upper management comes to *visit*
    6. Scanning equipment, tools needed to work safely and management that actually cares for your safety are scarce to non existent in some departments.
    7. Environment is a breeding ground for sexual harassment and bullying, Human Reource is not on site, so literally there is Zero protection. When Human Resource was available in years past, no issues were ever addressed appropriately, treated with complete disregard.
    I've noticed Amazon employees get alot of attention for what they perceive as an awful company to work for, that is their right. However, it would be a rude awakening for them to come work for UPS Ontario, California hub. They'd be begging for their Amazon wage and environment back....

On top of that you get 190+ stops with up to 260 - 300 packages 📦 oh and if you finish all that like some what mid day you need to help your co worker with 60 more packages because the person is moving slow so your moving let's 300 for what they gave u that's 360 📦 now 😉
